Germany's emissions have hit a 70-year low at 673 million tonnes in 2023, largely due to a decrease in coal power generation and an increase in renewable energy sources.
For a country that people shat on a lot for closing their nuclear plants Germany is on the right track reducing their C02.
The good news is that the current government has systems in place, which should bring something like 79% of emissions to zero by 2050. What is really lacking is agriculture and trucks. There are plans to increase taxes on trucks to include a carbon price of 200€/t, which should help. Some of the EU agricultural legislation would also help with agricultural emissions, but those will propably never go to zero anyway.

The bad part is most of it is way to slow.
